First time user, just wanted your opinion on the Gundogan rumours this morning in the English and German press? Possible, or agent using United?

Welcome Frank!

As stated above mate I'd take him in a heartbeat but the ED has already told us it is unlikely and his info is usually pretty solid!

Frank , it seems that Gundogan has regained his fitness , but from reports that I have read , he has some way to go to regain his pre-injury form. Admittedly , this is an opinion formed from reports though , as I have only seen him play once or twice since his return.
That said , if he can regain his form , and there seem to be no reason why he shouldn't , he would be worth a punt in my opinion. Before his injury , he really was a top class player. If he can recover that form or close to it , I would love to see him in a United shirt. I would imagine too , that he would cost considerably less than he would have 2 years ago , though that is just a guess.

Having said all that , I did ask Ed002 a while back if we still held an interest in the player , and I seem to remember him saying that interest had moved elsewhere. That was a few months ago now mind , so things may well have changes.

Maybe Ed002 has some more up to date information that he would be kind enough to share with us?

So Ed002 , do you know if Gundogan is a genuine target for United , and what is your view on his likelihood of regaining his add-injury form?
Thanks in advance :)

{Ed002's Note - Gundogan was refusing to agree a new deal and Dortmund were willing to let him leave as he was seen as a shadow of his former (pre-injury) self. A couple of clubs were interested, including Manchester United, but a recent approach about his availability was responded to that a three year extension has been agreed between the club and player and details are being finalised.}

Thanks for the reply mate. Does Ed work for United or is he a journalist? Just curious.
